With devm_spi_register_master(), the SPI controller is unregistered
*after* tegra_qspi_remove().  SPI transactions may still be ongoing
until the SPI controller is unregistered, yet you perform teardown
steps (such as freeing the IRQ) while it is still registered.

Bottom line is, you can't use devm_spi_register_master() in this case.
You need to use spi_register_master() and explicitly call
spi_unregister_master() in tegra_qspi_remove() *before* performing
teardown steps.

However, be sure to use the devm variant to *allocate* the SPI controller,
i.e. use devm_spi_alloc_master() instead of spi_alloc_master().

Thanks,
